    Abstract: An adaptive control circuit of SRAM (Static Random Access Memory) includes a switch circuit, a forward diode-connected transistor, a backward diode-connected transistor, and a first delay circuit. The switch circuit is supplied by a supply voltage, and is coupled to a first node. The backward diode-connected transistor is coupled in parallel with the forward diode-connected transistor between the first node and a second node. The first delay circuit is coupled between the second node and a ground voltage.

    Abstract: A pre-processing circuit is used for pre-processing a data-line voltage representative of a data output of a memory device. The pre-processing circuit includes a pre-charging circuit and a clamping circuit. The pre-charging circuit pre-charges a data line to adjust the data-line voltage at the data line that is coupled to the memory device. The clamping circuit clamps the data-line voltage to generate a clamped data-line voltage when the data-line voltage is pre-charged to a level that enables a clamping function of the clamping circuit, wherein the clamped data-line voltage is lower than a supply voltage of the pre-processing circuit. The clamping circuit includes a feedback circuit that feeds back a control voltage according to the data-line voltage at the data line, and further reduces its direct current (DC) leakage when the data-line voltage is clamped, wherein the clamping function of the clamping circuit is controlled by the control voltage.
